Frequently Asked Questions

What are some challenges that outbound Chinese businesses face?

If a Chinese business is considering expansion into other countries, there are many obstacles it might face on the road to international establishment, including:

  • Regulatory and Legal Compliance: Navigating foreign labor laws and standards can be complex, and compliance failure can have steep costs. Be sure you’re aware of any labor, tax, trade, environmental, or other legal regulations that may apply in your target market.
  • Economic Volatility: Factors like inflation, unemployment, and interest rates in your target market can impact growth potential for your business. Be sure to assess your target market’s economic volatility and have a plan for any unfavorable circumstances that might arise.
  • Cultural and Social Differences: When mobilizing a global workforce, it’s important to remember that different countries have different customs and communications styles when it comes to managing or discussing business. Be aware of any etiquette differences that could affect your relationships with foreign business partners or employees.
  • Intellectual Property Concerns: It’s crucial to develop protection strategies around any patents, copyrights, trademarks, and any other intangible asserts that distinguish your business from others in the marketplace before taking your business global.
    If you’re considering expansion into other countries, Aprio’s dedicated Chinese Service Group is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our tax and business advisory solutions.
How do Chinese and American tax approaches differ?

Though both China and the US utilize a progressive tax system (where rates increase as income increases), there are some key difference between their overall tax approaches, including:

  • Sources of Revenue: China relies on consumption taxes (like value-added or VAT tax) to collect revenue, while the US utilizes the personal income tax.
  • Tax Incentives on Investments: China offers significant tax incentives for investments in processes like research and development (R&D). Their incentive allows companies to deduct more than 100% of their R&D expenses. The US, on the other hand, has a tax depreciation rule that requires longer recovery periods for investment in physical assets. Though the US also has an R&D tax credit, it is generally considered less generous than the Chinese one.
  • International Taxation: While China usually taxes companies based on their worldwide income, the US utilizes a hybrid global tax system, meaning that certain foreign profits are exempt from domestic taxation.

If your Chinese business is considering expansion into the US, Aprio’s dedicated Chinese Service Group can guide you through the process. Contact us today to learn more.
